Passionate, witty, just plain great; this man’s voice hops right off the page.

RODDY DOYLE

 

For this workshop Stephen will focus on his method for writing about people and place. 

 

Here are poems fuelled by the raw urgency of language leaping to meet the world — and here, too, are poems of a tender heart, always willing to reach out, to try to understand. Stephen James Smith is a poet of uncommon energy, utterly alive to the here and now.
